Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0236254A1] A catalyst for purification of exhaust gases including (1) a catalysis-promoting coating comprising a noble metal catalyst and a NOx storage component loaded onto a carrier material, wherein the NOx storage component comprises an alkali metal and, (2) a ceramic substrate for supporting the catalysis-promoting coating, wherein the ceramic substrate exhibits resistance to alkali metal migration below 1000 DEG C and a coefficient of thermal expansion of less than about 25x10<-7>/ DEG C (25-800 DEG C). A second aspect of the invention is a process for purifying an exhaust gas from a lean burn engine involving simultaneously removing carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides by bringing the exhaust gas from a lean burn engine into contact with the exhaust gas purifying catalyst of the present invention disclosed above. In this process a majority of the nitrogen oxides in the exhaust gas are adsorbed to the NOx storage component on the porous support under a lean burn atmosphere in which oxidizing concentrations are above a stoichiometric point that is required for oxidizing components to be oxidized in the exhaust gas. Furthermore, when the exhaust gas is temporarily change from lean burn to fuel-rich, the adsorbed nitrogen oxides are released and chemically reduced by a reaction with the hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide in the exhaust gas under a stoichiometric atmosphere or a fuel-rich atmosphere in which oxygen concentrations are below stoichiometric point.
